2008 National Survey on Access Governance

Ponemon Institute: 2008 National Survey on Access Governance

Thank you for your interest in the Ponemon research report "The 2008 National Survey on Access Governance" .

According to the 2008 National Survey on Access Governance released on February 5th by the research firm Ponemon Institute, organizations are facing significant business risks because of inconsistent approaches to access management across the enterprise.

This survey of almost 700 experienced IT practitioners show that vast majority believe that employees, temporary employees and independent contractors have too much access to information assets that are not pertinent to their job function, and that access policies are not being regularly checked or enforced by their organization. This report describes the five major challenges identified by the survey respondents to implementing an effective access governance framework:

User access rights are poorly assigned
Policies are not regularly checked and enforced
Organizations are not able to keep pace with changes to users’ roles and they face serious noncompliance and business risk as a result
Senior management lacks understanding of the importance of access governance
Collaboration is viewed as critical but is not being achieved
